Best Kept Secrets, Uncovered By Yours Truly (Sorry that was a joke, I'm really not that prideful. Someone else did the hard work and found this stuff out. I just thought I'd share with you all.)

Spring 2011 the strokes are coming out with their 4th album. They took a break from being a band for almost 4 years and have finally been working on their most recent album. All the members are stoked, emphasizing that it may be their best work yet. Could it be their last? Possibly, but for diehard fans like me, even one more song is enough.

(Oh my golly do you see that stunningly gorgeous beard!) Dry the River. Pretty sure their unsigned... or its just impossible to actually get their junk. But... here ya go! Enjoy, and check them out ;D

Summer Camp. They're the bomb too, and definitely unsigned as of now. Wait and watch them get big. (Em found them) But say hi on their facebook and have some fun! (They almost always reply back)

New Album- Eisley in March ! They almost didn't make it due to lame contracting, but this beautiful beautiful beautiful group is putting their 3rd album up for grabs soon! You can download a song from the album- ambulance on their website today if you subscribe to their newsletter.

I forgot to mention...

Great ways to find out about new bands. Itunes can help only so far. Simple tricks. Your friends. If you're like me, your friends with people for a reason, you have similar tastes. Not necessarily in music, but chances are, they may have great insight. Nylon mag- always have tons and tons of new awesome artists. Free downloads- itunes, amazon, urban, magazine featured downloads--- the list seriously goes on and on. Its kinda fun to hunt for what could be your next favorite band also. Oh, and seeing who your favorite bands listen to.
